Abstract: A method and a system for positioning an apparatus for monitoring a parameter of one or more parabolic reflectors of a solar thermal field, wherein the method comprises positioning the apparatus at a first field location responsive to the position of the respective parabolic reflector, acquiring information of an absorber tube of the respective parabolic reflector, and positioning the apparatus at the second field location responsive to the information of the absorber tube, the second field location being beyond the focus of the respective parabolic reflector is provided.

Abstract: To determine a concentration of an analyte in a sample, a matrix impregnated with one or more reagents is contacted with the sample. Individual images of the matrix are captured. A memory includes image processing module configured to generate a composed image of the matrix from the captured images. The intensity of the colour of the composed image developed on the matrix is measured, wherein the intensity of the colour provides information on the concentration of the analyte in the sample. The determined colour value is selected and compared with a set of calibrated colour values to find the concentration of an analyte present in a given sample.

Abstract: A method of reducing motion blurring in digital radiography includes capturing at least one temporally coded blurred image of an object generated by using a coded pattern, and generating a de-blurred image from the at least one temporally coded blurred image by using the coded pattern and an estimate of a motion vector of the object. The at least one temporally coded blurred image is captured by using a total amount of generated light corresponding to at least a portion of radiation transmitted by the object. A digital radiography system is also provided.
